DAVIDSON, North Carolina, — Trane has been named America’s Most Trusted Residential HVAC Brand for the 12th consecutive year, according to the 2026 America’s Most Trusted Study conducted by Lifestory Research.

The annual study surveyed 12,328 consumers nationwide between January and December 2025 to evaluate trust across leading HVAC brands. Trane earned the highest Net Trust Quotient score in the study, with a rating of 113.7, exceeding the industry average benchmark of 100.

In addition to its overall brand ranking, Trane was also named the No. 2 five-star thermostat brand for the sixth consecutive year, reflecting continued consumer confidence in its residential comfort controls and connected system offerings.

According to Lifestory Research, brand trust scores are calculated using its Net Trust Quotient methodology and require sufficient survey responses to meet a 95% confidence level with a margin of error of no more than 3%. Brands are then evaluated against peer organizations of similar size and complexity.

Trane Technologies, the parent company of Trane, continues to advance long-term sustainability initiatives alongside its residential HVAC portfolio. These include its 2030 Sustainability Commitments, the Gigaton Challenge to help customers reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and a goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. The company was one of the first HVAC manufacturers to have both near- and long-term emissions reduction targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative.
